Its mission is demonstrating Love, Acceptance, Forgiveness, and Grace. The church champions social justice and radical inclusivity. Founded by Pastor Samuel Lopez this congregation affirms and promotes the full participation of persons in our activities and endeavors, including membership, programming, and the calling of clergy without regard to gender, affectional or sexual orientation, race, eth
nicity, nationality, religion, physical or mental challenge or economic circumstance. We are entirely, unequivocally, and unapologetically progressive and inclusive. Our Mission is to live in love, acceptance, forgiveness, and compassion for all. Our Pastor, Rev. Samuel Lopez, is Ordained Ministers with the Progressive Christian Alliance. As a church, we are affiliated with and stand by the Mission Statement of the Progressive Christian Alliance:
"The Progressive Christian Alliance maintains a focus on social justice. We believe that the gospel of Christ calls us to minister to the last, the lost, the least, and the left-out of society. We respect theological diversity. Faith is not about concrete answers, religious absolutes, creeds, or dogma. Faith is about the search for understanding, the raising of important questions, the open honesty of having doubt, and the realization that no one has it all completely right nor does any human hold all the answers. We seek to follow the advice found in 1 Thessalonians 5:21, which is to “seek truth out in all things and hold firmly onto that which is good.” Religious absolutes of dogma, legalism, and strict doctrine become stumbling blocks and “litmus tests” for who is “in” and who is “out” of the circle of God’s grace. These false tests that Jesus never required get in the way of truly following Jesus and his teachings. We affirm the dignity of all of God’s children and invite them to participate fully in the life of the church."
